I’ve only used Windows my whole life but I decided I wanted to use Mint, but it’s seemingly unbootable normally and compatibility mode does this half of the time??? It seems to go on forever. I should note I’m duel-booting with Windows 10, any other info you may need let me know because I’m not really confident in my Linux abilities

delicate temple
#

nvidia?

inner lily
#

Yes

#

3090 Ti, if that matters

meager harbor
#

That's why

delicate temple
#

Welcome to the club!

#

for me, I have to use recovery mode

#

until I instal the nvidia drivers

inner lily
#

I did get the driver via the driver thing in Mint, though I’ve been using a specific one, I could try the other ones maybe?

delicate temple
#

nouveao?

inner lily
#

No, the proprietary one

delicate temple
#

version?

#

525/535 ?

inner lily
#

545

delicate temple
#

and u installed all updates and latest kernel?

inner lily
#

I installed all updates, though just to be clear where would I install the latest kernel?

delicate temple
#

i think its auto wit the updates, but u can check Update Manager > View > Kernels

#

6.5.0-28 is current

#

I am also using 550 nvidia drivers

inner lily
delicate temple
#

thats an old one I think

#

i would do ur kernel 1st

#

then reboot, and remove ur old kernel

#

u will also need to reboot after u purge nvidia drivers

#

just remember to use Advanced > Recovery after that reboot, when u get options after starting recovery, just pick the top option and press enter on the next prompt

#

I've only been using Mint for a little over a week now, and trust me, if u can manage to stick with it, its far superior to windows šŸ™‚

#

and btw, I am pretty sure you are using an old Mint install ISO, 5.15.....im sure the current one for download is way newer than that

inner lily
#

Oh, maybe that’s part of the issue?

#

Could you link me to a more current install?

delicate temple
#

well if ur gonna redownload it, u want the Edge one

#

ye one sec

inner lily
delicate temple
inner lily
delicate temple
#

ye I was dual booting myself, mainly due to me waiting for Wrath of the Lich King to end šŸ˜› but I even managed to get wow working now

#

it's a bit more involved, have to use Lutris/Wine instead of Steam, Steam games just seem to work

#

wow actually seems to work a lot better than it did in Windows, get like 100fps (monitors refresh rate vsync) in Dalaran at peak times šŸ˜„

#

on windows it usually dipped in to the 80's

inner lily
#

I’ve played games via Linux on my Steam Deck and that seems to work well, so I’m hoping it’ll be somewhat similar in Linux?

#

I mean Linux on my PC

delicate temple
#

I think so, nvr played on a deck

#

but so far all the steam games I have tried work fine, if not better than they used too

#

even Doom Eternal in RT mode works flawlessly

#

Cinnamon (Edge ISO) Edition is the ISO I linked btw, its a bit more geared to us nvidia plebs

inner lily
#

I only tried one game in Linux PC so far and weirdly it had less issues than it has in Windows, I guess Linux’s legacy Windows stuff is better than Windows’???

delicate temple
#

probably

inner lily
#

The only game I had issues with on my Deck was Spore, and even then I got it working after a bit

#

I’m downloading the new ISO right now by the way

inner lily
delicate temple
#

I've tried these games so far, and they have been awesome on mint

#

and wow wotlk classic

inner lily
#

When I try out some of my favourites on Mint I’ll let you know how it goes, haven’t really had the chance due to this issue unfortunately

delicate temple
#

modding bg3 tho, was a bit beyond my skills

#

but theyre adding it to workshop soon(tm)

inner lily
#

The closest I’ve done to modding in Linux was finding the fake C drive to get my Spore creatures and put my custom BattleBlock Theater head in the customheads folder

#

Heck that’s probably the closest to modding I’ve done ever lmao

delicate temple
#

well i've got installing Mint down to a T now, think ive done it 5 times so far.....

#

so if ur doing it tonight i can help if possible

inner lily
#

I believe I’m just gonna do it whenever this ISO is done downloading

#

Says about 30 seconds

delicate temple
#

sweet, u on mobile?

inner lily
#

Yeah

delicate temple
#

kk

#

u in windows on pc rn?

inner lily
#

Yep

delicate temple
#

what u gonna use to make the USB iso?

#

Etcher or Rufus?

inner lily
#

balenaEtcher was what I was told

delicate temple
#

ye, etcher didnt work for me, maybe cos I debloated windows too heavily

#

had to use rufus, but etcher is fine

inner lily
#

Alright

#

Flashing it now

delicate temple
#

u installing to new drive or a partition?

inner lily
#

New drive

#

I have a second SSD in my PC so I’m using that

delicate temple
#

cool, ppl say dont, but i install to / and /home to a seperate partition

#

probs wont matter tho, if ur gonna eventually main Mint, u will probably start over

inner lily
#

Switching to Linux entirely is the long-term goal, I’ve already only begrudgingly put up with 10 and Windows 11 was my tipping point

delicate temple
#

ye, the whole making customisation software difficult to install was my tipping point

inner lily
#

It’s been so nice being able to mess with the look and feel on a dime

delicate temple
#

all the news about 24H2 is also pretty bad

inner lily
delicate temple
#

ye, im thoroughly impressed with mint

#

anything I think of, there is probbaly some free software for it šŸ˜›

inner lily
#

Yeah, one of the first things I tried in Mint was looking for a YouTube Video Downloader and sure enough one is on the store

delicate temple
#

ye

inner lily
#

Do I need to wipe my SSD before installing the new Mint version?

delicate temple
#

I would

inner lily
#

Alright

delicate temple
#

I would also partition it, u can keep ur /home for later, will save time when u install again, if u need to

#

Mint only need 50GB, 100GB is plenty

inner lily
#

How do I do that?

delicate temple
#

when u get to the HDD section, select "Something Else"

#

make sure you have your Linux drive selected, and then highlight a partition on it and click the - button to remove it, when the drive is only free space, use the + to make a partition

#

how big is it?

inner lily
#

The SSD is 2 terabytes

delicate temple
#

sweet

#

when u press + enter 102400 in the size field, thats 100GB

#

it will ask u what to do with it

#

Select ext4 as filesystem

#

and mount it as /

#

then in the free space use whatever is left, and ext4 again and this time mount as /home

night bone
inner lily
#

I did that, but only after installing Mint

#

So maybe this’ll help?

night bone
#

as that may give issues

delicate temple
#

ye I disabled secure mode, cos nvidia drivers i think dont like them, and ye, i disabled fast boot

#

oh, i thought Doger was asking me about secure mode

inner lily
#

Installing this new version of Mint now

delicate temple
#

so the partitions done?

inner lily
#

Sorry I meant running the USB

#

I haven’t gotten into that part yet

delicate temple
#

ah

inner lily
#

It’s taking a minute because compatibility mode is checking tons of stuff or something

#

I dunno it’s moving too fast to read

delicate temple
#

i rly hate how small of a window Mint gives u when it comes to setting up the partitions, just be careful what u clicking on

#

and ye, i have to use compat mode to install too

#

otherwise it hangs and a blank screen

inner lily
#

Yeah, noticed that on my first go-through

#

It’ll probably take a bit to finish this but I’ll let you know when it’s done

delicate temple
#

ye no rush šŸ˜›

#

one tip btw, in my experience, try to stay away from Flatpaks

inner lily
#

What is a flatpak? I did see those referenced in the store but I’m not very knowledgable on Linux

#

Or the software manager I think it’s called

delicate temple
#

when u use Software Manager, u will see a lot of them, they like containers for that app to use, i tried Steam flatpak, and it was a nightmare, removed it and used the normal version and its been fine šŸ™‚

inner lily
#

I see, I’ll keep that in mind whenever I get everything up and running

delicate temple
#

AppImages are awesome, I used my 1st one today, for WoWup (addon manager), its like a portable .exe šŸ˜„

inner lily
#

Oh, that’s interesting

#

My Linux knowledge is like, zero to be honest, I decided to get Linux on a dime and chose Mint just cuz it looked nice shruggin

delicate temple
#

I am in the same boat, but I tried debian 12 first

inner lily
#

Did you not like Debian?

delicate temple
#

I mean it felt good, but I couldnt get PoE to work, and after 2 days of tinkering i gave up and tried mint

#

and once I sorted nvidia drivers, PoE worked 1st try

inner lily
delicate temple
#

ye, Mint and Pop_OS! are meant to be the easiest distro's for ppl like us

inner lily
#

Never heard of Pop_OS!, what’s that one like?

delicate temple
#

I think my prob with debian was mainly due to nvidia, and I might have tried the wrong ISO, I went with the netinst_testing version, so it was probbaly missing a lot of pkgs I needed

#

not tried Pop, I just hear a lot of people saying its like Mint in regards to user friendly

#

there is another one now I hear a lot about called Bazzite, I think its Arch based but is meant to be really good for gaming

inner lily
#

I have heard of Bazzite, but I know only like, a bit about it

inner lily
delicate temple
#

ye I dont know much about it either, and tbh I think ima stick with Mint for a good few months

inner lily
#

I plan on sticking with Mint as my main OS assuming I can get it working

delicate temple
#

same, I am on a 12600K MSI Tomahawk Z790 and a 4070ti Super

inner lily
#

I have an MSI motherboard but I can’t recall exactly what model? I have it written down somewhere so I could check

#

Intel i9 12th gen as well

delicate temple
#

I dont think CPU is an issue tho, its mainly nvidia cos the drivers arnt open source

inner lily
#

Yeah, it’s the only one that shows up in the drivers app

#

I’ve just heard AMD plays nicer with some versions of Linux

delicate temple
#

AMD drivers are baked in to the linux kernel

inner lily
#

Maybe I’d have chosen AMD when I built my computer if I knew I was going to switch to Linux whoops

delicate temple
#

yep, i bought my pc upgrades like a month ago, if id of known.....

#

upgraded from a i9 7900X x299 EVGA Dark 2080ti šŸ˜›

#

was a beast when i built it 4yrs ago

inner lily
#

I had only used random laptops before and I had a job at the time so I decided to put all of my money into a computer that’s like, a bit overboard

delicate temple
#

current setup laughs at it tho

inner lily
delicate temple
#

ye, thats exactly where I was 4yrs ago, probs why i nvr upgraded for so long

night bone
delicate temple
#

how's the install going btw?

inner lily
night bone
inner lily
#

Well the USB thing is

delicate temple
#

is this after doing compat mode?

inner lily
#

Yeah

delicate temple
#

k, hopefully wont b long then

night bone
delicate temple
#

technically its 2nd or 3rd time :p

night bone
#

when installing mint, use ventoy

inner lily
night bone
#

don't use rufus or else

inner lily
#

Got it

night bone
inner lily
#

I used Etcher, is that fine?

delicate temple
#

id only use ventoy if u want to have a USB with multiple Distro's on a install drive

inner lily
#

Should I restart?

delicate temple
#

I made a Ventoy, put like 8 diff distro's on it, inc gparted, and ive only used it twice šŸ˜›

#

u deffo selected Compatibility mode?

inner lily
#

I believe so, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to restart it?

delicate temple
#

u could try sure, if its deffo repeating errors

night bone
#

is your PC too new?

delicate temple
#

he is using edge, thats the iso i told him to download

night bone
#

then try with ventoy

inner lily
night bone
#

and do verify mint iso

delicate temple
#

girls dont use the internet!

inner lily
#

I actually use it too much

pastel shore
delicate temple
#

😮

inner lily
#

Anyway maybe I’ll try ventoy? I’m getting a PCIE error like over and over again

pastel shore
delicate temple
#

ventoy is super easy, u just use it to make the USB drive and then u can just copy ISO's on to it

pastel shore
delicate temple
#

intel/nvidia

pastel shore
delicate temple
#

edge

pastel shore
inner lily
#

If you mean the OS I’m using for installation, it’s Windows 10

pastel shore
delicate temple
#

I did also have issues with etcher, I ended up having to use Rufus until I found out about ventoy

pastel shore
#

ventoy should work

delicate temple
#

should ye, altho it doesnt like the debian ISO I tried with it, said something about being unable to mount install media

inner lily
#

Ventoy won’t download

#

I’m on the page but it’s just

#

Not installing???

delicate temple
#

1.0.97-windows.zip ?

inner lily
#

Yeah

#

Apparently there’s work being done on the site so maybe that’s why

#

It said some services would be unavailable

#

I guess I’ll just try Etcher one more time

delicate temple
#

no no

inner lily
#

What do you suggest?

delicate temple
inner lily
#

Alright

delicate temple
#

use 4.4p.exe

#

just set the device to ur usb, select the edge iso u downloaded earlier, and click start, dont need to change any settings

inner lily
#

Got it

night bone
#

rufus likes to break how mint boots

inner lily
#

It’s my only option currently

night bone
delicate temple
#

worked for me, when etcher didnt

inner lily
#

Like I press the install, it goes to the screen, but it doesn’t do anything

inner lily
#

Alright let me try that then

night bone
inner lily
#

Got it

night bone
#

this will wipe your usb tho

inner lily
#

Got it

#

What do I do after Ventoy is installed

delicate temple
#

copy the edge iso to the USB

night bone
inner lily
#

Got it

#

Then do I just boot from USB or are there more steps?

delicate temple
#

ye just reboot from usb

#

u will get a grub menu to pick an iso to boot from

night bone
inner lily
#

Normal mode or grub2?

delicate temple
#

u still need compatibility mode

inner lily
#

I’m guessing normal but with how long I’ve been working on this I am not taking a single chance lmao

#

At this part, before the install

delicate temple
#

ah normal

inner lily
#

Got it

delicate temple
#

u should then get a list of ISO's

#

Just pick the one u have on there, but ye, u still need to use compatibility mode from there

#

it working?

inner lily
#

I’m still getting this weird PCIE port error

#

I found a thing to help but I can’t boot into compatibility mode with boot options

#

Unless there is a way to do that I’m unaware of

#

So I’m stuck between errors because of a weird PCIE issue and errors because I’m not in compatibility mode

delicate temple
#

when the ISO loads, doesnt it give u a menu?

inner lily
#

Yeah

#

Compatibility mode isn’t getting rid of this error

delicate temple
#

Ok, so the ISO loads, and u go to advanced? or is compat the 2nd option?

inner lily
#

It’s the second option

delicate temple
#

ok, but then u get PCIE errors

inner lily
#

Yeah

#

Well, the same one spammed over and over

delicate temple
#

and ur sure uve disabled secure boot?

inner lily
#

I believe so but I’ll double check

delicate temple
#

I hate MSI's BIOS layout, but for me i think it was somewhere in the security menu

inner lily
#

It’s disabled

delicate temple
#

ur using a K scew intel right?

inner lily
#

A what

delicate temple
#

12900K ?

inner lily
#

Yes

delicate temple
#

u could try disabling the IGP

inner lily
#

Where do I do that

delicate temple
#

Usually it's under BIOS\Settings\Advanced\Integrated graphics configuration\set IGD multi-montior to disable

inner lily
#

Got it disabled, I’ll see if it helps

delicate temple
#

ok, fingers crossed šŸ˜›

inner lily
#

It didn’t, but I’m noticing the error only happens in compatibility mode???

#

Though regular mode has the journal error

delicate temple
#

???

#

oh

inner lily
delicate temple
#

you could try the normal cinnamon iso next, maybe edge isnt the way to go

inner lily
#

Yeah, I’ll try that

#

Could you link me to it?

delicate temple
inner lily
#

Oh same link lmao

delicate temple
#

nah its lsightly diff link

inner lily
#

Oh I see

delicate temple
#

311 not 314 šŸ™‚

#

I have all my toes and fingers crossed

inner lily
#

Might be a minute since I’ve gotta install the ISO and then re-flash it and such

delicate temple
#

no no

#

all u need to do is copy the new ISO to the ventoy usb

inner lily
#

Oh, I see

delicate temple
#

u will just have another iso to pick when u boot up next time

inner lily
#

About 3 minutes to install the ISO

delicate temple
#

nice, thank god dialup internet is a thing of the past

inner lily
#

Everywhere except internet archive evidentially lmao

#

One time I tried downloading a version of MacOS and it literally took 12 hours-

delicate temple
#

ouch

#

i remember when I went from 56k to ISDN.....was massive back then lol

#

and thank christ for bittorrent šŸ˜„

inner lily
#

Alright, it’s done downloading, let’s see if it’ll actually work this time

delicate temple
#

hpe so cos im running out of ideas :p

inner lily
#

I got a bit scared because it started doing that PCIE thing but then it stopped and is doing other things

delicate temple
#

progress! 😮

inner lily
#

Nevermind now there’s a new error

delicate temple
#

lol

#

is this normal boot mode or compatibility?

inner lily
#

Compatibility, I’ll try normal now just for a sanity check

#

What even is the journal service?

#

That’s the thing that keeps getting in my way

delicate temple
#

is that what ur getting now?

inner lily
#

It’s what I’ve been getting in normal mode the whole time, compatibility has been a wide range of issues

#

Which is ironic I guess

#

I might sleep on it and see if I can figure it out in the morning

#

Cuz I’m really sleep-deprived and have been doing this all day shruggin

delicate temple
#

was trying to google it, but im not seeing anything helpful

inner lily
#

Yeah, I tried some random solutions but none seemed to do anything unfortunately

candid iron
#

haven't read this whole thing, but have u ensured Windows 10 Fast Startup is disabled? that's quite important

inner lily
#

Yes

delicate temple
#

if anyone can help u stunner can šŸ˜„

inner lily
#

@candid iron Do you know what this means

candid iron
#

idk if i wont start in regular mode, it just may not be compatible

#

although if the live USB installer started just fine in normal mode, then it is compatible

inner lily
inner lily
#

This PCIE issue randomly started being an issue

delicate temple
#

could it be a bad usb ?

#

usb drive*

#

no i guess the ISO wouldnt even begin to load...

candid iron
#

if it started up fine, and installed fine, it should boot fine now

delicate temple
#

she's trying to reinstall, the version she had was 5.15 kernel

candid iron
#

i saw briefly y'all were talking about video card stuff, but i have no experience with that

#

could try the linux Mint Cinnamon edge ISO then , esp. if computer is quite new

delicate temple
#

we tried that first

#

same errors

inner lily
#

I’m really tired so I’m going to get some sleep, I’ll try some stuff in the morning and let you know how things go

candid iron
#

are you able to get even to command prompt at boot?

inner lily
#

Yes

candid iron
#

if so , u can test to see if it's UEFI-booting

inner lily
#

What command?

candid iron
#

i'd imagine since Windows-10 is there, Win uses UEFI boot, especially machines of 0-6 years old, so therefore Linux should have been installed in the same manner

#

hang on i'll find the command

#

ls -lh /sys/firmware/efi

#

if the list command there shows files and folders, then it's properly set to run UEFI mode

#

if none found, then installed in wrong mode, and won't boot, or may encounter issues, especially since it's a dual boot

delicate temple
#

atm its booting from ventoy using cinnamon or edge iso, normal gets journal error, compat mode gets PCIE errors

#

but im guess she gone bed šŸ˜› like im about to

#

nvm, goodnight, I'll be back later to see if anything works šŸ™‚

inner lily
#

I’m not quite in bed but I do believe I’m going to for now because none of these seem to be fixing it

#

I’ll probably try more stuff tomorrow

candid iron
#

ok

delicate temple
#

i'll drop by see if i can help! laters

inner lily
#

Thank you all for the help anyway, hopefully I’ll get this figured out soon NPCNurseThumbsUp

night bone
#

not installing it but live booting it to test as it has nvidia support

inner lily
#

I got past boot by going to quiet splash in the boot options and adding pci=noaer

#

So I’m in Mint now at least, though I’m certain there’s more I’d need to do for a permanent solution

#

I’m in Edge, to be clear, it’s installed, I’m getting drivers and updates set up again

night bone
#

did you tried booting with endeavourOS iso just to check how it behaves? @inner lily

#

it might not be the solution, but worth testing

inner lily
#

No, now that I’ve managed to actually get into Mint I don’t really want to risk booting into anything else

#

I think my graphics card is newer than Mint’s graphics drivers so I’m getting 550

night bone
#

as it has kernel 6.8

#

mint goes up to 6.5 iirc

#

same with nvidia drivers

inner lily
#

Booting from recovery mode works (It throws a bunch of PCIE errors but gets over it), I’m back to just that Journal Service issue

#

In normal mode

delicate temple
#

with 550 installed?

inner lily
#

Yeah

delicate temple
#

did u update kernel and other software before 550?

inner lily
#

Yep

inner lily
delicate temple
#

nah it's not gonna be fun whenever u forget and let it boot normal šŸ™‚ weird, I thought it would of behaved the same as it does for me, we have similar hardware

inner lily
#

I suppose I could try reinstalling in Rufus, since that’s what you did it’d be closest to an identical installation

delicate temple
#

I have a few other sugestions, but theyre clutching at straws at this point, like resetting BIOS to default, or using a different SATA port on ur SSD

#

I was also thinking maybe removing ur nvidia GPU and using ur Intel to get things installed, but ur past that now

inner lily
#

Anything involving opening the computer I probably won’t get around to today

delicate temple
#

how comfy would u be updating the BIOS?

inner lily
#

I think I’d be fine with that

#

Should I update the BIOS in Linux or Windows?

delicate temple
#

well try and figure out what model ur mobo is and download the latest from MSI, well, check ur current version first

#

u flash it from within the BIOS

#

u just need to put the .rom or w/e it is on to a USB

#

there should be a EASY FLASH option within the main menu

inner lily
#

MSI MPG Z690 CARBON WIFI DDR5 LGA 1700 Intel Z690 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard

#

That’s what the store page calls it

delicate temple
#

ah 690, mines 790, mines better obv, bigger number!

#

ye, just download it, extract the files to root of a USB and enter bios, there will be a FLASH option somewhere

#

just make sure u dont turn it off during the process šŸ˜›

#

1st tho go in to BIOS and make sure u need to update, the version should be somewhere at the top

#

latest BIOS was released a little over 2 weeks ago

inner lily
#

I haven’t updated the BIOS since I bought the motherboard so

#

Womp womp

delicate temple
#

they have a youtube video guide if u need it

#

u could also boot in to windows and update the ME firmware

inner lily
#

Do I just download the top one?

delicate temple
#

ye

#

7D30v1H

inner lily
#

Do I unzip this or just put it in the USB

delicate temple
#

ye, its a weird filename, but just plop it on to the USB root, not in a folder

#

brb, need to make mother a sandwich

inner lily
#

Alright NPCNurseThumbsUp

delicate temple
#

how's it going?

inner lily
#

The USB isn’t showing up for some reason

#

Going to reread the guide to see if I missed anything

delicate temple
#

diff USB to your ventoy?

#

oh btw, what USB port? one at the back on mobo or a case one?

inner lily
#

A case one, should it be on the back?

delicate temple
#

probs wont make a difference, clutching šŸ˜„

inner lily
#

I think I figured out the issue?

#

It needs to be FAT32, mine is ex-fat currently

#

So back into Windows I go

delicate temple
#

šŸ˜›

inner lily
#

I have to look for a USB of less than 32 gigs for FAT32 just a second

#

Found one

delicate temple
#

this is turning out to be some adventure lol

inner lily
#

Yeah lmao

delicate temple
#

either way though, keeping ur BIOS up to date is fairly important

inner lily
#

Thank you for all the help by the way

delicate temple
#

no worries, id just be tinkering or gaming anyway

inner lily
#

Moving everything off of my 8 GB drive since it’s a drive I used for my 360, then I’ll format it and put the bios on there

delicate temple
#

if its for the 360, it might alrdy be fat32

#

i guess 360 might also be ntfs tho 🤷

inner lily
#

I checked and it's fat32, makes things a bit easier

delicate temple
#

cool

inner lily
#

Might be a bit slow because it’s an old USB but it’s better than nothing

#

It’s updating

#

Going to watch my cats like a hawk so they don’t unplug anything lmao

delicate temple
#

šŸ˜›

#

it should say when its done and u can reboot

inner lily
#

Alright, I’ll let you know

#

Should I boot into the bios, Linux or Windows?

#

Or does it matter

delicate temple
#

see im not 100% sure if ME Firmware update does anything to ur motherboard, i mean, firmware, to me sounds like it would....but ye, if u wanna do that as well u need to go int to windows

inner lily
#

Got it

#

In Windows now

delicate temple
#

k where u downloaded the BIOS, there is two ME updates in the same area

#

I am not sure if u need both or not, so just run them both to be sure šŸ˜›

#

Did you go in to BIOS after reboot and set it up? it should of gone back to defaults after the flash I think, u can do this when uve done ME updates

inner lily
#

Alright, I’ll go disable fast boot again

delicate temple
#

and secure boot

inner lily
#

After this

#

Right

delicate temple
#

u can also play about with ur Intergrated intel GPU

#

I turned mine off recently, and then WoW Classic started working, now I was messing with a lot of settings, so I am not sure if that was what fixed it lol

#

was proba more to do with the runner options i was messing with tbh, i should turn it back on and see :p

#

btw, side question, did you enable XMP?

inner lily
#

Um

#

Would it be like really bad if I didn’t

delicate temple
#

no, its safer not enabling from a stability standpoint

delicate temple
#

but if your RAM is say 6000mhz, u'll be leaving a lot of performance on the table

inner lily
#

Yeah after so long of trying to get this done it was nice to see a clean boot, not to mention I literally couldn’t sleep because it wasn’t done

delicate temple
#

inner lily
#

delicate temple
#

inner lily
#

delicate temple
#

#

and as far as nvidia 550.78 ?

inner lily
#

Yep, I updated that about an hour ago, didn’t help me with this issue but I imagine it’ll be good for the future

delicate temple
#

yeye, i was getting jankyness on the 535 or whatever mint installed

inner lily
#

So with my similar build it probably would’ve been a similar story

#

Anyway, I don’t believe I need anything else now, thank you again!
